Good little Reference

This book has some short, but interesting monologues for the kids. My son (age 15) found two that he really likes and is working on. I like them because they include comedy and drama, are to the point, and have some subjects that appeal to teenagers.

Really liked this book!!!!

I bought this book for my 12 year old. What we love about this book is that there are monologues for all ages of kids, which have enabled him to show the ages he can play. The comedy monologues are really funny and the drama ones truly brought a tear to my eye. The content in this book is very appropriate for kids and the table of contents make it easy to find the right monologues for my child.

Excellent book!

I am an acting instructor and have been using this book in my classes. My students like to work with this book the most. They love the comedy monologues and can identify with the drama ones. As a teacher, I like how the monologues are written. They allow the actor to respond and really act rather than just say the words. A great book with positive messages for kids.

Audition Monologues changed my daughters life. My 14 year old daughter has attended auditions on a regular basis for over 2 years (unsuccessfully). Finding the appropriate material that would allow her to demonstrate her skills was next to impossible. It simply didn't exist until now. We bought the book and began practicing on a nightly basis. While the monologues are brief and easy to deliver(under one minute), they are exciting and allow for artistic expression. Using these monologues, my daughters confidence soared. She was actually able to identify with the characters which gave an authenticity to her presentation that she previously lacked in auditions. Using these at auditions allowed her to demonstrate her full range of acting abilities. As a result, she landed the part in two of her last three auditions, the latest a speaking role in a national T.V. commercial. Audition Monologues made this possible. My daughter and I are grateful. I would reccomend it to anyone.
